    Check Their Credentials

    Although I do agree that we need to build an opposition consensus to the war I also fear that many in the conservative movement will use opposition to the war as a means of distancing their movement from the utter flop of an administration that George Bush leads. People who change their position on the war ought to demonstrate how they came to make that change. Therefore, since the intellectual underpinning of the war were basic neoconservative (see the Project For The New American Century), repudiation of the war ought to involve repudiation of the neoconservative movement as well as the tactics that got Bush elected.
